As the rainbow community closes in on baby season, we wanted to update our readers on some of our past holdbacks. We will profile one or two little ones each week for a total of 17….taking us well into baby season. Note that only the adults who make the end collection as breeders get formal names, so our younger snakes will be referred to by number (this both saves names, as there are only so many good gem ones available, and lets customers choose their own name for any we rehome).

Hailing from our 2014 “C” litter, we have #03, #09, and #10. These babies were born on November 18 to Ramses, a full old-line hypo, and Jasper, who is known for her bullseyes and dark face. We profiled Baby #09 and 10 last time. Baby #03, however, was the immediate and obvious standout of the litter, and the only male I held back all year.

Here is Baby #03 as of *his* most recent photo shoot:

He weighed 95 grams of his last weigh-in.

As always, thank you for reading.-----Cliff Earle
